Good morning. This is your Rails Daily weekly recap for January 6th through 13th, 2026.

33 pull requests merged with 35 additional commits this week.

**Ruby Compatibility and Infrastructure**

Rails continues modernizing its codebase. PR 56527 removed Ruby compatibility code for versions below 3.3, eliminating outdated checks for SecureRandom parameters, Range overlap methods, and Fiber kill functionality. The Gemfile also dropped explicit Rake version constraints since Ruby 3.3 bundles Rake 13.1.0.

System tests were removed from the default CI template, moving them to a commented section since new Rails applications no longer generate system tests by default.
